Finding the right dentist for you in Grantham
Dentists, unlike doctors, are not assigned to you by your postcode. Instead, you are able to make a dental selection based on the practices in your wider local area, or even further afield, if you’re prepared to travel to get the best possible service. The closer you are to Grantham, the more convenient it is for you to visit our long established and well regarded surgery. However, we have patients from all over Lincolnshire and beyond, who choose a longer drive to receive a superior dental treatment, rather than settling for whatever their local practice can provide.
What to look for when choosing a dentist
If you’re looking for a dentist in or around the Grantham area, here’s our guide to what you should be looking for in a new dentist. This guide helps ensure your money is spent on expert practitioners, who have access to the latest dental technology and techniques, as well as a heightened duty of care toward their patients. You should be looking at the following:
- Qualifications of the dental surgeons: You can check out the qualifications and experience of all of our dental surgeons on our website. We are very proud of expert team!
- The quality of the practice standards: You will form a very quick impression of the dental practice you visit and you will naturally look to see if the space is clean, tidy and modern.
- Range of treatments available: It’s important that the dentist you choose is an expert in the treatment you need. It’s no good visiting a recommended orthodontist to have restorative work. Here, in Grantham, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments and have a large, expert team in place to deliver them.
- Technology: Why settle for old fashioned technology, when you could be using the best. Here at our Grantham practice, our team have been trained on the latest CEREC techniques and have access to a 3D dental CT scanner, which is one of the most advanced pieces of dental equipment in the Grantham area.
- Convenience: Can the practice provide you with convenient appointment times, that fit around your work schedule and lifestyle? Is car parking available?
- Registration and membership perks: Will the reception team guide you through the registration process and does joining the practice provide you with any perks, such as a discount off treatments?
- Approach towards nervous patients: We take dental fear seriously and work with nervous patients to ensure they feel as comfortable and informed as possible about the treatment they are going to receive. We will listen to you and use our training to support you as best we can.
- Emergency protocol: If you have a serious dental concern outside of opening hours, do you know who to contact? A good dentist will make sure you’re aware of the steps you need to take, as well as who to contact in case of emergency.
- Complaints procedure and feedback: A great dental surgery will have a formal complaints procedure in place, in case anything goes wrong and request feedback from their patients in order to help them improve their service. The reviews of the dental practice should be visible on their website, so you can see what their patients have said about them. You can see our reviews here.
